animus_network | ✖ Dante ✖ Mission one: Video/Action

This is not a good way to go about waking up after a crazy night.

[Dante was perched in his new bed rubbing his head and trying to make sense of the letter that had been left beside him. He gave himself a glance and just groaned: tight white body suits just weren't very fitting. I mean, look at his junk! It doesn't leave much for the imagination... not that he cared.]

All right, guys. Very funny. Is this supposed to be a joke because I totally fell for it. My head hurts, I feel a little woozy, and this jumpsuit is cutting all circulation to where I really need it. Who the hell even picked this out? Why did you choose white? It's going to give someone a rash, you can't walk with this thing on...

[He mumbled a few more things before lunging a few times in the suit. Yep. All that squeaky sure was funny.]

So let me guess, was I drunk and that's why you bastards decided to drag me here? I better be wearing something underneath this suit. You don't touch another man's junk unless you're going to go all the way with him...

[She chuckles quietly.] 'Crazy' would be a good way to put it. There are five of them in charge here; Dax, Riki, Jason, Ruana and Zo.

So is there anything else I should know? You're not very good at this whole 'introduction' thing. [And he'll just... lunge again making his suit squeak. He is being silly.]

[She huffs another laugh and leans back in her seat slightly.] I've got a bad habit of info gushing, so I'm trying to tone it back a bit. Buuut if you insist... [She rubs the back of her neck as she thinks of where to start.]

... So, for starters, you're in the 'Tower of Animus'. That note you got says that you're here because your world got destroyed, but personally I think that's bullshit. Every month there's some sort of... experiment or event that takes place here, and these can range from weird to potentially fatal, depending on who is conducting it. And there's also the monsters that roam around the tower, with the more dangerous ones coming out at night, along with there being floors in the tower that are also dangerous in general.

[Pause.]

Also, you have to eat the oatmeal in the cafeteria first, or else you throw up anything else you try to eat. And you should find some of your stuff in the trunk at the end of the bed.

You see? This is what I call information. [He moves over to his trunk and, yep! There's his clothes! He starts pulling them out.]

Where can I get this lame oatmeal? I don't want to starve.

Down in floor one. There's an elevator on the first dormitory floor which can take you down to it, since going down all the stairs could take a while.

I see. So, pretty-redhead. Wanna join me? [One. Tracked. Mind.]

[Now she blinks at him, looking stunned at being called 'pretty'. And then she gives an embarrassed little laugh as her face turns faintly red. Though in April's mind, she's figured he's joking or something.] Well, um... Sure, I guess.

[Not-dad is watching you, April.]

Ahem.

[Blink, blink.] ... What's wrong, Naoya?

[Time to lock this.]

You do realize he's hitting on you, right?

He's... what? [Aka, nope.]

Court you? Woo you? Though given how he looks and speaks, probably more of a one-night stand.

He thinks you're attractive.

[Not that he sees this as a bad thing, but he knows how clueless April can be...]

[Staaaare. And then cue some awkward laughter.] 'Attractive'? N-no way.

Hey, who's the lab-rat? I didn't invite you, guy. Go find yourself your own red-head.

Ah, hey, it's okay! He's just... I guess he's like a dad figure. [Even though he looks around her age. It's complicated.]

[Yeah... creepy.]

Whatever, he's definitely not coming if that's the case.

He won't, don't worry.

Good. I don't know where I am but I'm sure finding the first floor will be a lot easier than finding me or you. Let's me there, shall we? I promise I'll change out of this suit.

Not to jump on you or anything, and you could be plenty scared of Naoya anyway, but April has a boyfriend. Who is me.

Where the hell are we, high-school or something?

So asking a girl to take me to the cafeteria automatically makes me interested in her? [It totally does but Dante will act otherwise.] Anyone else want to get involved? Does she have an older brother, maybe? A grandpa?

I think that we're about it. But since Naoya didn't mention that she's taken, she's taken.

...Is this what high school's like? I always thought it was more about studying than trying to fight over girls.

[Aleph, how little you know.]

What high-school of nerds did you go too? Cool your jets. I respect the bro-code. [Only not.]

[Just gonna. Ignore the other convo going on, dammit guys she's an adult she can handle herself-]

R-right, sounds good. I'll see you there.

... And, uh, sorry about those two.

It's fine. Us guys are idiots like that, always protecting what we think belongs to us. I've got not pretty red-head in my life but I could understand.

[She huffs quietly.] ... Mm, I guess. Though I'll probably talk to them about this later.

Um, anyway, would meeting by the elevator be okay?
